How to unlock the Going Through the Potions achievement in Hogwarts Legacy - Definitive Guide

There are 6 different types of potion to brew in Hogwarts Legacy. Two of which are given to you during Professor Sharp's potion class (Wiggenweld & Edurus). The recipes for the other 4 will need to be purchased from J. Pippin's Potion shop in Hogsmeade. All 4 recipes will cost you a grand total of 3,700 to buy.

Wiggenweld (Free) - 1x Horklump Juice, 1x Dittany Leaves.
Edurus (Free) - 1x Ashwinder Eggs, 1x Mongrel Fur.
Maxima (500) - 1x Leech Juice, 1x Spider Fang.
Invisibility (800) - 1x Leaping Toadstool, 1x Knotgrass Sprig, 1x Troll Bogey.
Focus (1,200) - 1x Lacewing Flies, 1x Fluxweed Stem, 1x Dugbog Tongue.
Thunderbew (1,200) - 1x Leech Juice, 1x Shrivelfig, 1x Stench of the Dead.

Once we have all 6 recipes we can now look to gather enough reagents to create one of each potion. The potions will need a mix of plants and animal reagents. Both "The Magic Neep" & "J. Pippin's Potion shop" will sell you all the required reagents for a fee. Otherwise you can grow your own or go out and gather them in the world (I'll pop a reagent list below or check my video). When we have enough reagents find yourself a Potion Station - either in your Room of Requirement or in the Potions Class to brew all 6. Once you've retrieved all 6 from the stove the achievement should pop.

Reagents:
Dittany Leaves (100/Plant) - Grown in a Small Pot.
Knotgrass Sprig (150/Plant) - Grown in a Small Pot.
Fluxweed Stem (150/Plant) - Grown in a Large Pot.
Shrivelfig Fruit (150/Plant) - Grown in a Medium Pot.
Horklump Juice (50) - Found growing in caves (Caves & Spider Dens).
Ashwinder Eggs (150) - Found in nests on cliff edges (West of Hogsmeade).
Mongrel Fur (50) - Dropped by Mongrels (Forbidden Forest).
Leech Juice (150) - Found on sandy river banks (Rivers & Hogwarts Lake).
Spider Fang (50) - Dropped by Spiders (Spider Dens).
Leaping Toadstool (150) - Found at the side of pathways (Forbidden Forest).
Troll Bogey (100) - Dropped by Mountain Trolls (North Forbidden Forest).
Lacewing Flies (100) - Found on bushes throughout Hogwarts (Forbidden Forest Floo Flame).
Dugbog Tongue (100) - Dropped by Dugbogs (Rivers & Hogwarts Lake).
Stench of the Dead (100) - Dropped by Inferius (North Forbidden Forest).

Note: Potions brewed during the potion class (Wiggenweld & Edurus) don't seem to count. You'll need to brew these again.

Yes as above, the ones from the potion class do not seem to count and you have to brew them again. I had the same problem!

I had trouble popping at first because I had max Wiggenweld potions, and I couldn’t pick up the one I brewed. Once I was able to pick it up the achievement popped.

I've brewed every potion numerous times, and it still hasn't popped for me. I thought it might be because of the Felix Felicis potion being PS exclusive for a year.

I made all 6 potions and picked them up. Turns out I never actually picked up the Wiggenweld potion I made cuz my inventory was full.

I had to get hit by an enemy, use a healing potion and then teleported back to the room of requirement to collect the Wiggenweld potion I made

^Gemgemchan makes a good point. Emphasis on picking the potions up. You are given the option to "destroy" potions rather than collect them from the bench once the timer completes. Wiggenweld was my last potion, but because I was playing on a lower difficulty I was always at max capacity and destroying them after making them for the achievement. Once I cleared my Wiggenweld inventory and collected from the bench, achievement popped. Hope this helps someone else!

I did brew all of them now multiple times outside of potions class but the achievement is still stuck at 83%.

I must have brewed all potions now a dozen times but It won’t unlock.

Hade the same issue with max Wiggenfeld potions. Brewing it and destroying it didn’t help. I had to use one Wiggenfeld potion to free some space up. Then brew another potion. Once I removed it, the achievement popped.

This achievement seem to track when you pick the potion up from the brewing station.

This can only be obtained after you discover the
with
after you have completed the "
" quest.

Use the Conjuring spell to create a Small Potions Station, then simply brew the 6 potions shown by using their respective materials. Some of the potion recipes needs to be purchased from J. Pippin's Potions in Hogsmeade in order to brew them.
Please not that you must collect the potion from the station after it is finished brewing in order for progress to count towards the achievement.

In this guide we will show you how to brew all Hogwarts Legacy potions and earn the “Going Through the Potions” Achievement/Trophy.

To prepare the potions you need three things, a crafting bench with at least one cauldron, the recipes and thirdly the necessary raw materials. It is also a prerequisite that you have completed the main quest “Potions Class”.

After completing the aforementioned main quest, you can visit the classroom at any time to brew potions. Alternatively, you can also brew potions in the Room of Requirement, which is unlocked later in the game. If you have enough money to unlock additional brewing benches from the vendors, you can build seven brewing benches to make all the potions at once. However, you can still earn the Achievement/Trophy with the basic crafting bench in your classroom. This process simply requires a little more time.

As for the recipes, two of them you learn during the course, while the rest you will have to buy from the J Pippins Potions shop located in the town of Hogsmeade (the 2nd main area of the game after Hogwarts castle). From this shop you can also buy various materials for brewing potions.

Finally, to collect the necessary materials you should explore the map, kill certain enemies, plant seeds or buy all the materials from the vendors.

There are 6 different potions you can brew. First, you'll need to complete the Potions Class main quest and the Room of Requirement main quest to unlock Potions and a Potion Table for brewing. Then, purchase four of the potion recipes from J Pippins Potions in Hogsmeade, the other two recipes are learned in Potions Class. Ingredients for the recipes can be purchased from J Pippins Potions, grown in your planters, picked up off defeated enemies, and found while exploring the world. Brew one of every potion for this achievement / trophy!

The 6 potions needed for the achievement can be brewed in the Room of Requirement after you unlock the room through the main quest and conjure a potion table.

Brewing potions only counts if you have room in your inventory to collect them. You will need to use a potion to free up space. If you are full on Wiggenweld Potions, you need to get hurt first, then press D-Pad Down to heal.

The first Wiggenweld Potion brewed in Potions Class does not count toward the achievement. If you are missing an ingredient, they may be found in the world outside Hogwarts or you can purchase them from either J. Pippin's Potions or The Magic Neep. Both are located in the northwest part of Hogsmeade.

00:46 - Maxima Potion

There are 6 potions you can brew in Hogwarts Legacy, and as soon as you’ve finished the Potions Class in act 1, you’ll have access to somewhere where you can brew them.

First things first, you’re going to need to get all the recipes for all 6 potions, which can be unlocked in the main “Welcome to Hogsmeade” quest, and then bought from J. Pippin’s Potions in Hogsmeade:
  • Edurus Potion - Get for free as part of “Welcome to Hogsmeade”
  • Wiggenweld Potion - Get for free as part of “Welcome to Hogsmeade”
  • Focus Potion Recipe - Buy for 1,200 Coins from J. Pippin’s Potions
  • Thunderbrew Potion Recipe - Buy for 1,200 Coins from J. Pippin’s Potions
  • Invisibility Potion Recipe - Buy for 800 Coins from J. Pippin’s Potions
  • Maxima Potion Recipe - Buy for 500 Coins from J. Pippin’s Potions
To brew the potions you’re going to need the following ingredients:
  • Ashwinder Eggs - Can be found in rocky areas, so head to caves or mountaintop cliffs to find these.
  • Dittany Leaves - You’ll buy Dittany Seeds from the Magic Neep as part of “Welcome to Hogsmeade” and can plant a Dittany plant in either the greenhouse or the Room of Requirement.
  • Dugbog Tongue - Kill a Dugbog and they’ll drop this. They can be found in the Forbidden Forest, for instance, or anywhere near water.
  • Fluxweed Stem - Seeds can be bought from The Magic Neep and grown in large pots in your Room of Requirement.
  • Horklump Juice - Found “Underground,” like in caves. We found more than a few in Jackdaw’s Tomb in the Forbidden Forest, for instance.
  • Knotgrass Sprig - Purchase Knotgrass at The Magic Neep and grow in pots of any size (whether in the greenhouse or in your Room of Requirement).
  • Lacewing Flies - Just head north of Hogwarts along the path, on the way to Hogsmeade. You’ll also find them in the Forbidden Forest, amongst many other places too.
  • Leaping Toadstool Caps - Again, on the path to Hogsmeade, near the Forbidden Forest Floo Flame. Loads in the forest itself.
  • Leech Juice - Found on “waterfronts.” Like near the waterfall in the Forbidden Forest.
  • Shrivelfig Fruit - Purchase seeds from The Magic Neep and grow in a medium or large pot in your Room of Requirement.
  • Spider Fangs - Dropped by spiders of all kinds. Often found underground.
  • Stench of the Dead - Dropped by undead enemies like Inferius.
  • Mongrel Fur - You’ll find Mongrels all over the place, particularly flat grassy areas, or up on cliffs. You’ll also find them in the Forbidden Forest, amongst other place.

This can be achieved very early in the game; buy every potion recipe from the portions shop in Hogsmeade, then brew them all in the Room of Requirement. It is possible to earn this achievement even earlier, when you first gain access to the cauldron in the potions room, but you may not have all the ingredients you need by that point in the game.

Potions must be brewed yourself at the potions table; potions obtained from jumping cauldrons do not count towards this trophy.

Small non-obvious things:
You need to brew all the potions (5 pieces) and the rowan decoction too
The achievement did not drop because... During the game I had no shortage of rowan berry broth and I never cooked it myself, the place was filled to capacity
I cooked a couple of circles for each position and still didn’t achieve it =)
It turns out that it had to be cooked and definitely TAKE, but there was no room for the rowan berry broth. I went and spent a couple of decoctions on my enemies, came back, brewed it and took it - the achievement was unlocked =)

den17g's hint is a little wrong
The trophy will become available after completing the potions lesson - a cauldron in the freeroom will be available right in the classroom
